The Thursday night football game was quite thrilling this time. As soon as it seemed like the Dallas Cowboys were winning, the Seattle Seahawks would do something that allowed them to score points, and vice versa. However, the matchups were finally won by the Cowboys with 41-35.

As per the NFL standings, Seahawks now sit with 6 wins and 6 losses, and Cowboys now have a record of 9 wins and 3 losses. As the Hawks were hopeful for a wildcard claim, the efforts of Geno Smith and DK Metcalf couldn’t help them add some chances to it. And the team fell flat at AT&T Stadium.

The Cowboys needed a big defensive play, and they got it when Demarcus Lawrence stopped Zach Charbonnet on 4th and 1. The Seahawks were leading 35-30 at that point, but the Cowboys took the lead, 38-35. Geno Smith tried to move the ball but missed on three straight passes, leading to a field goal for Dak Prescott’s team.
